I have no words to express the gratitude and support from everyone so far. This has been an incredibly difficult and unexpected turn of events and experience. My father had been fighting cancer for two years now...for a second time...and was doing well. But three weeks ago this past Wednesday, he complained that was feeling dizzy and not all balanced. We took him to the ER and eventually was admitted and found that he had multiple small strokes in his head, a brain bleed, and a heart issue. The cancer was in his left lung. In those three weeks, his condition physically and cognitively deteriorated. On that last week, it was worse than ever and it's when doctors advised that nothing else could be done. 
He was taken to hospice on Friday mid-day and passed at 3:00pm or so right as my mother & I arrived to see him as they had notified us he had arrived and was settled in. My brother had to stay home with our dog as she's been having a very hard time with my father's absence up until then. 
It has been a great deal of a struggle so far in not only these past weeks but also due to his passing. He left us without any info on a will or life insurance or anything of the sort. So we're handling all of this on our own as best as we can. We tried to contact a number of attorneys to assist us, but they're all asking for amounts of money we do not have. Thankfully, I have a few friends locally who have been able to guide us through some things as best as they can. But it all still feels very lonely and it's most hard on my mom as she feels all alone. And we don't have family close by who can stop in and hang out and be with us in these times. 
But I am thankful for Jared for not only making this post but also looking out and all of the support and love from all you VC'ers. It's incredibly appreciated and makes me feel less alone in dealing with this. 
We knew that my father would eventually pass but not this fast. But we're comfortable in knowing that he's no longer suffering and passed peacefully and waited to go as soon as we arrived to see him. I am taking comfort in that. 
Again...thank you so much VC. I feel the love and gives me comfort. 
 

The best part is that there are a bunch of "updated" versions of this song all over Youtube that do it way better than FOB did. 
I honestly love the original version of this song. I've had a soft part for it since junior year of high school, when our English teacher had us pick a topic from the song and write an essay on it. I'm pretty sure it was our final.
I picked Punk Rock, and proceeded to write a 10 page paper about the mainly the Misfits. Aced it, too. 🤣

This sounds familiar. 

The Year of the Knife news is awful. Hope everyone pulls through. Its encouraging to see how many donations they've collected in only a few hours

I run an Instagram account called Records With Googly Eyes, not sure if that counts? A lot of records are user submitted though.
 
Last year I tried listening to one record every single day and writing a little bit about said record and ended up posting them all on my personal IG/fb just because it was cathartic for me. Beyond that I’ve got nothing. 

Just do what I do. Open it up and hold it up to your wife (Partner) and say "Damn this one came out nice/sick/cool/tight...Look" and they she says "yeah, that's neat."

Rhyming Metroid with George Floyd. They still got it y'all 😱💪🤓🤔🤷‍♂️

It’s not half bad, it’s all bad!

 

also could be the mix. if its really low end, or bass heavy, it could be making the arm jump.

Same thing happened to me!

Instant buy, along with the puzzle and the candle. Jeff forever.

this record is fucking great. that's the comment.

Nailed it.

Ahh. The rare quadruple post. Sure sign of the jimmies being rustled. 

For 50 seconds, there were monsters on the world.

Tim hosting the political show and just looking at phone when he was getting bested was one of my favorite ITYSL bits yet.  Pay it forward and the egg game had me rolling too. The Fred Armisen and Tim Meadows appearances were so good too.

Ahh. The rare quadruple post. Sure sign of the jimmies being rustled. 

Pig in a Nixon mask has been my particular favorite so far

God, I love that fuckin song, man.  I just don’t know if any of it is true.

Slipknot sucks
